EU3toVic2 / Vic2toHoi3 Converter Project

[Idhrendur]

I finished an EU3 DW 5.1 Japan game ,converted and my jaw dropped! Really , i felt so happy to see that my adventure still hadnt reahced its end ! All my armies and fleets are there to guard my land. And I kept westernisation! God after those painstaking low stab years Im glad that it is still paying off!


Lolled pretty hard though about the names of certain factions ,like uberpowerhouse burgundy being changed to Zanzibar ,Zulu's in Spain ,Cuba in Asia Minor ...
Than I tried the converter mod ,gave also some funny situations. :P
burgundy still was vanshed from Europe by some german sounding name .
Is it possible that the order of the powers is fucked up? Prussia is a great power with 3 regions ... Or Spain ,whom I cant even find on the map. :P

When you used the mod, did you also drop the new mappings files into the converter directory? If you do not do so, the converter won't know to take advantage of all the new nations.

I've got an odd problem and I can't post it in the Bug Reports since I'm using a converted save from Eu3 in V2.

Basically what happens is that I'm playing my garden variety UK Megablob (ENG had come out of CK as leader of the HRE, (having megablobbed the CK map) then conquered, converted and colonized all but Japan), and when I click Politics I get a CTD, do not pass go, do not log fatal error. I checked to see if Japan got the same CTD effect, it did not.

Here's the bloated save.

I'm running Vanilla AHD with the exception that I jigged the RGOSpreadEvents to make them more frequent, and I don't think that has any effect. My intuition is that something is wrong with the decisions or movements, or possibly it just hates having to calculate political support in the upcoming election. Regardless... I've got no idea.

Any insight?

Well, I can verify your problem. And I've been playing with basic edits to the save, and can't come up with anything. But of the usual people here, I'm the least good at that kind of analysis.

Hi!
I've used the Converter mod for Victoria. After the file is converted the nations gain new Decisions that aren't able to be activated.
Here are an example: http://share.coldevil.com/game/v2/Switzerland_v2_1.png
And here are the EU3 save file: http://share.coldevil.com/game/v2/Switzerland.zip

Known problem. Working on it.

I've gone and cleaned up the files section of the sourceforge area. The download links are probably not correct now (but it should be easier to find the right ones).

Looking at that screenshot, I'm completely flabbergasted. These are not decisions that the mod adds. At first I thought they may be existing decisions (displayed correctly and not yet available to trigger) that are suffering from a localisation issue (something that would be my fault) causing titles and descriptions to be displayed as their defaults, but looking at the screenshot the titles seem much too generic for that to be the case.

Have we determined weather or not this is true for conversions both with and without the converter mod?

The problem is Gran Colombia formation. Don't know WHY, but that's it.

[Idhrendur]

I suspected it was 2.31 related, but couldn't get a previous version of V2 installed and working to verify (they install, just crash on launch every time).

And it seems to be only with the converter mod.

[Duke Leto]

I'm going to try eliminating all decisions to see if that helps. But I'm also going to look after some personal stuff I've been neglecting due to Paradox addiction.

[Idhrendur]

The problem is Gran Colombia formation. Don't know WHY, but that's it.

Probably the lack of GC cores we place. And those'll be tricky, because it's based on tags, not culture groups. May require code changes. I'll be verifying and trying solutions tomorrow. I spent hours on some internal code changes today, and am ready to relax.

It didn't.

[Duke Leto]

By the power of Regular Expression I was able slash global population by 90% in the save game and to determine that the problem is that the Politics screen just flat out did not want to deal with my 300 Million+ voters in any way any more.

30 Million it could itemize, 300 Million it can't. Which is a bit odd because one would think the limit would be number of Pops not Pop Size. I'm going to report it to Paradox anyway, because it's a stupid bug that would happen to anyone's world blob by 1936, one assumes.

[Idhrendur]

Fixed the decisions problem. 2.31 introduced a half-dozen new countries, and our replacement countries.txt didn't link them. I've fixed that, and as those nations a cultural unions of sorts, I've added them to unions.txt. (Except for Fran Columbia, which is a weird case).

Converter Mod 0.94 is uploading now.

Edit:

I've also uploaded Converter 2.8B, which contains similar changes, plus a few other things I've been working on.

Changelog:

437 C++ Allow comments that have no comment text, just a # by itself. 438 C++ Use forward declarations instead of #includes in EU3World 439 C++ Move files around 440 C++ Make log.txt easier to read 443 C++ Use forward declarations instead of #includes in V2World 444 C++ Update data files for new countries in 2.31

Ok now I have all proper countries, but the great powers tab is still fucked up. Suggestions? Thx a million times for this amazing mod!!!!

If the great powers are still shown to be the standard ones (UK, Russia, USA, France, Prussia, Austria, OE & Spain), just save and reload, and it will put the correct ones in.

@Sid: FAQ

Q: Why are the Great Powers all messed up?!
A: Saving and reloading the game, as directed, will fix this.

[Alfred Packer]

Brilliant work everyone...thank you all so much. I've converted both IN and DW games and it works perfectly!

[YingPar]

I'm having a crash to desktop with the new version (2.8b and .94), and Great Britain has become just "Great" for some reason.

[Idhrendur]

I'm having a crash to desktop with the new version (2.8b and .94), and Great Britain has become just "Great" for some reason.

I can confirm that 2.8B and 0.94 together cause a CTD. Either alone seems to be fine.

Edit: and after fiddling around with it all, I think I need to leave it to the people who know the mod bits better than I to figure out what I did wrong when I updated both.

[DasGuntLord01]

"Great Britain" simply becoming "Great" is a localisation issue that I will fix now.

EDIT: @Id: did you add your changes to the converter mod to sourceforge? That's the version we've been working from.

EDIT: Oh, I see, you added the new tags in to their geographical regions. :P Well, that was confusing for a moment.

The biggest offender I can see so far is that Aragon and Arabia now share the same tag (ARA). I will amend this presently.

Something of great importance to note is that if the flags are misnamed then the game will not load at all!

Aragon tag will be changed to "ARO".

[DasGuntLord01]

Seems to have fixed it. Tags, flags and localisations amended. But for some reason I can't seem to upload a zip of 0.95! It always fails. Id, can you try?
